TIME FLIES WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN

Summer is off to a busy start. Both of my boys, Conner and Spencer, have been having a blast at camp. They’ve enjoyed spending time with friends, making new friends, and staying involved in a ton of activities. I’m glad they’re outside, keeping active, and getting plenty of fresh air. On the Fourth of July, our family got together to celebrate. But this year, the Fourth was a bit more special than usual. My little brother got married! He and his new wife had a small wedding in our parents’ backyard, then we capped of the events with fireworks. It was an amazing day, one I have no doubt my brother and his wife will remember for a long time (and on that note, my brother will have zero excuses for forgetting their anniversary!). A little later in July, my good friend Brandon Baltz and I had the opportunity to play in a golf tournament together. We’ve been buddies since the fourth grade when we were 10 years old. Now, 35 years later, we’re finally playing in a tournament together — and we won our flight to boot! Though this summer has been busy all around, at this point, I’m just glad the rain has finally let up. It’s good to see the floodwaters gone and things mostly back to normal. I know a few of our customers at the Truck Center had some trouble with the water — I hope it wasn’t too bad. A lot of landscapers in the area have been busy getting their clients’ properties cleaned up after all the damage. As for things here at the Truck Center, that classic saying “Time flies when you’re having fun” certainly applies. It feels like we sped right through the last few months. Not only did we have a fantastic second quarter, but we also made some major yearly goals ahead of schedule. Needless to say, we couldn’t be happier!

I know a lot of our customers couldn’t be happier as well. Over the past few months, Chevy and Isuzu have been offering some great incentives on their commercial vehicles. We can barely keep up. Right now, we’re eagerly anticipating an inventory restock for the third and fourth quarters. There are a ton of exciting vehicles on the horizon. Some of those vehicles are already starting to trickle in. For the 2018 model year, Chevy has introduced a number of new models and body styles. I’ve spent time with the new 2018 Equinox and 2018 Traverse, and they are beautiful, inside and out. These two are on the lot now, but in mid- to late August, you can expect to see the new Isuzu F-Series 25,950 GVW truck. Even better, you’ll be able to try out that new Isuzu. We’ll have one on hand for demos. The first 10 customers who reach out to us will have the chance to spend some one-on-one time with the truck. I’m talking about spending a couple of days with the truck, trying it out, and seeing how it fits in with the needs of your business. All you have to do is get in touch!
